Can I transfer apps from computer to phone?

Hi,

Im thinking of buying a samsung ace smartphone as they seem a good price £75 or so on pay as you go with orange.

Don't fancy paying for internet to download apps from google pay store though and wondering is there a cheaper way of getting them on phone.

Don't think its possible to get them downloaded to computer, If I was to buy a nexus 7 could I transfer them from that to phone?

Or maybe another way?

Thanks for any help

    You can transfer app from pc to phone through wifi.
    And I am not sure what you mean paying internet to download. You don't use 3G when you download. You connect to your home wifi to download and it won't occur extra cost.
  • They will be in your Google Play account - Just re-load them to your new device via a wifi connection. Even on 3g the apps load pretty quick ;-)

    I down load mine down the pub from the cloud.
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    Ah thanks for that, I have an old LG phone about 6 years old, so time to upgrade.

    Glad to hear I can use wi-fi to download the apps :)

    Thanks again
